Thanks, but the size of those pictures is a little too big without spoiler tags.

I'd rather wait for the complete episode rather than watching bits and pieces though.

Thanks gordol! But in hindsight that was probably the gist of the good stuff from that episode. Still though I want to see it in its entirety, sometimes the dialog can give away things about the upcoming episode.

Watched OVA 2, my impressions:

OVA 3 PV: gypsy dance and Lancelot Euphie Grief ver.

Kusaja · 2013-10-20, 15:27

Once again thanks, gordol, but let me chuckle for a moment.

Okay, now actually talking about the second episode of Akito..I liked it, though the source has some technical issues that got in the way of my full enjoyment.

What follows are only my own personal thoughts on a few things, currently without proper translations, so don't read too much into them yet:

Spoiler:

gordol · 2013-10-20, 16:01

Regarding Suzaku and Lelouch involvement in the EU front:

They're obviously there for 3 things:
-Geass related shenanigans, looking for C.C
-Control or destroy the Euro Britannia nobles, since they aren't that loyal to Charles
-At least control the territory where the Geass ruins are, so military success is needed

I don't see Suzaku killing the japanese cast, he's more likely to kill the other 3 Knight Order leaders since they are KOR level of skill.

Shin is going to be main cast's antagonist while Suzaku and Lelouch take care of the rest of both E.U and Euro Britannia.

The other OVAs will have the following factions battling each other:
-W0 Unit with their spy and Leila's Geass coming into the spotlight
-Rest of E.U army
-The 3 other Euro Britannia's Knight Orders under Verance
-Michael Knights under Shin trying to take over everything
-Suzaku and Lelouch tag team under direct Charles' orders

THIS GONNA BE GOOD!

Considering the things I pointed out and several others that I left unmentioned, I'd say the episode was actually quite interesting in my opinion, even without being able to discuss anything in great detail right now. That said, for the most part I didn't find it difficult to follow along and the action was very entertaining.

Multiple elements seem to be quite plot relevant and for me the underlying structure of the story has become clearer, but I suppose that's what the eye of the beholder is all about though. We all care about different stuff, and while I felt my attention didn't fade away at any moment, someone else might be bored. Can't help it.

Blackmambauk · 2013-10-20, 17:05

I suppose the problem I find myself with Akito is that, for me it just hasn't had a moment that made me go... wow that was awesome, or something that was done in a way that felt different or fresh.

I think that's my underlining problem with Akito, it just feels like the things it does have been done too often in my eyes, or done better elsewhere. Nothing is original, but Akito feel's a bit too what a word for it... play's it safe. Though this all could change in the next two episodes.

As I have rated for the polls above, episode wasn't bad in my view, there are far worser anime out there, but it just didn't really entertain me in the way I wanted it to, which is a shame, as I was really looking forward to watching episode two, but as Kusaja says very well above, it will entertain some people for sure, while bore others, all depends on what your looking to get out of Akito.

Fireminer · 2013-10-20, 17:33

@Black: That is the problem when you make something new from Code Geass - The Original is just simply too big, too good.

The fight scene was so like mmmmmeeeehhhh!!!???

probably cuz Iam use to seeing Suzaku's Lancelot raping knightmare frames....

Anyway isnt Lulu x Suzaku on the opposite team, unfair??
Those 2 cant be beat, but Lulu's geass is sealed so they might have a chance to win.....

Prediction Lulu x Suzaku will live and kill everyone except for Leila who will live to pass down the tale of what soon to be the rulers of the world.....
muhahahahaha

Kusaja · 2013-10-21, 17:59

I'll just reiterate that the only possible way you can watch the episode right now, a technical issue results in bad frame rate.

If you check the various promotional videos or trailers, you'll see that the motion is actually faster and smoother.

I don't think its sealed. This feels like something that would fit in between S1 and S2 of CG. Since we all know Charles doesn't care what happens to the world rewriting Lelouch's personality to make him do everything for him fits the bill.

Spoiler for :

The delayed EP 2 talked more about Akito's past, but it didn't answer a lot of questions. Seems like Akito's geass functions in a similar manner to Suzakus. It had the mech fanservice and Leila fanservice. But the theatrical poster and showing preview scenes of C.C. were really misleading.

Unintentionally, especially since there's a man-made system involved, not just Akito's condition on its own.

Not particularly more than most other movie posters in my experience.

The preview might seem misleading or at least not very literal at this point, but things can always work out in the long run.

Hagoshod · 2013-10-22, 18:39

Why is that one girl's pilot suit some sort of combination of a Britannian pilot suit and that straightjacket design?

Does it have anything to do with this?

Kusaja · 2013-10-22, 20:23

Coincidences aside, probably not...and it should be noted that everyone who is part of Akito's unit has the same type of pilot suit, even across gender lines.

I guess there is some sort of minor straightjacket theme in the design, vaguely comparable to what C.C. wore, but nobody is using Refrain.

Kusaja Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2007	Once again thanks, gordol, but let me chuckle for a moment. Okay, now actually talking about the second episode of Akito..I liked it, though the source has some technical issues that got in the way of my full enjoyment. What follows are only my own personal thoughts on a few things, currently without proper translations, so don't read too much into them yet: Spoiler: -So Shin is apparently the adopted brother or something of that little girl...but the nasty smile on his face suggests that, unlike Lelouch or Xingke, his intentions towards the loli aren't remotely sincere. It comes across as way more manipulative. -Further confirmation that Akito has some serious mental/emotional damage despite his calm exterior. Obviously caused by his brother's Geass command but compounded by the circumstances. I guess it cements the idea that the objective of this story isn't for Akito to overcome these problems on his own, but for someone to save him. -And naturally the best candidate for that is Leila, although I don't think they're going for an explicitly romantic angle. He's too distant and self-centered, even more than Lelouch in this respect, so any love is likely to be one-sided. I see it as more of a spiritual/humanitarian thing, though of course that won't stop shippers. -The random tumblr poster's complaints that Akito was "constantly saving" Leila are a whole load of nonsense. Besides the quick bit from the battle preview, all you get is a scene where he goes to deal with Ashley Asura. Why wouldn't Akito tell Leila to stay back? She's not an ace pilot and the Alexander drones were already defeated. -It seems the brain scientist lady is going to play a significant role after all, what with the Brain Raid System apparently being based on her frozen husband's (?) ideas. She reminds me a little of the female scientist from Heat Guy J, if anyone has seen that. -Speaking of BRS, the system appears to create a neural network capable of unintentionally transmitting the effects of Geass across it. I guess we might get some exposition on how that works later on. -I don't care if someone thinks the rocket launch scene was too long. I thought it was cool. -Yukiya already has the most obvious death flag of the three Japanese recruits. -Speaking of the recruits, all of them seem to have learned about Akito's past with Shin through that flashback while under the BRS/Geass effects. -Not surprising at all, but equal opportunity fanservice with both the girls and boys wearing those skintight pilot suits. I'm fine with all of that. -Klaus is totally a double agent, apparently for family reasons...the question is for who. Britannia would be the obvious answer but you never know. Also, what the heck is CODE-G supposed to mean? -Julius/Lelouch isn't really shaking or having exaggerated spasms. Just gesturing with his hand. He doesn't seem drugged to me, even after examining the stuff on the table. It looks like water is spilled all over though. -Next episode should have a humorous scene with those silly gypsy costumes...but clearly that's not going to last with Suzaku and Lancelot finally entering the stage.

Blackmambauk Member Join Date: Aug 2013 Location: England that is all	[QUOTE=gordol;4878468]Watched OVA 2, my impressions: Spoiler for link: http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=484807 Gordol is that the link to the vid that freezes at 46:12, which I got this morning or is it a new version that doesn't freeze Spoiler for episode: . overall episode two didn't seem to have much happen, the battles were well animated and all that, but as far as plot goes, not very interesting in my view. Most of the characters just don't seem interesting to me, Leila seems to be the only one I find myself interested in, well the other was Michael but they killed him off in 3 minutes in the first episode, Akito (the character) and the other japs just feels boring to me. That's just my view, Oscar looks more interesting, not surprised that Klaus is a spy, always seem shifty that one. the brain stuff, hmmm not sure what of make of it really. the rocket scene was ok, though it seems weird they would need a rocket to move their knightmares, do the eu not have any real aircraft or transporters. Battle scenes alright, Knights of Shin feel one note at the moment, though jean low looked more interesting, Ashura was as hot blooded as he looked. Would have liked Leila to do a bit more fighting, but I suppose is she more strategist and commander than fighter, so it makes sense. Shin's Geass was interesting, it seems to have different effects or something, doesn't seem like lulu's Geass at the moment, or there's something about Akito we don't know yet. Hopefully the final two episodes will be good, as personally I would like to know more about he EU, i.e. more on the council of forty (if they are still going with them being the runner of the,) more on their military, etc. plus what is Leila's geass etc.

Masurao45 Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2012	Spoiler: At the end of the episode before the credit rolled, Akito is about to get crazy with his geass command "Die" as well as showing a rape face. Looks like Shin is about to command him to attack all of his Euro Legion including Leila who he grabbed hands with. Something tells me that ever since his geass command appeared, will he pull Haruto on Leila just like that time when Haruto's power went out of control on Saki?
